SECTION 1: HEATER SAFETY
Your Safety is Important to Us!
This symbol is used throughout
the manual to notify you of
possible fire, electrical or burn
hazards. Please pay special
attention when reading and
following the warnings in these
sections.
Installation, Service and Annual
Inspection of heater must be done by a contractor
qualified in the installation and service of gas-fired
heating equipment.
Read this manual carefully before installation,
operation or service of this equipment.
Heaters are not approved for residential installation.
These instructions, the layout drawing, local codes
and ordinances and applicable standards that apply
to gas piping, electrical wiring, venting, etc. must be
thoroughly understood before proceeding with the
installation.
Thin sheet metal parts, including the various venting
components, have sharp edges. To prevent injury,
the use of work gloves is recommended.

SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon
recommends the installer contact a Local
Building Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
• To use the information given in a layout drawing
and in the manual together with the cited codes
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as
standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports, vents and air
intakes.
• To provide access for servicing.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.
• To never use heater as support for a ladder or
other access equipment and never hang or
suspend anything from heater.
• To ensure there is adequate air circulation
around the heater and to supply air for
combustion, ventilation and distribution in
accordance with local codes.
2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is included with the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and
the importance of the required clearances to
combustibles. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing
of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and
position the tag on a wall near the heater.
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040031) is illustrated
on the back cover.
Know your model number. Model number is found
on the heater and in the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual.
See Page 9, Figure 3 through Page
14, Figure 9.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
CAUTION
Do not use heater in an area containing corrosive
chemicals.
Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals to ensure a
longer life of the burner, heat exchanger and other
parts.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
property damage.
Roberts-Gordon cannot be responsible for ensuring
that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility
of the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the
sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence
of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or
halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the
premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen ele-
ments (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life
span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An out-
side air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the
presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be
invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,
etc. may be applicable.

cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
6.4 Horizontal Venting
Horizontally vented heaters must be individually
vented.
Vent pipe must be sloped ¼" (.6 cm) for every 1' (.3
m). For vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5 m),
condensation will form. Insulation is recommended
and condensation drains may be desired. For vents
pitched up toward the vent terminal, place the
condensation drain within 5' (1.5 m) of the heater.
In noncombustible walls only, vent terminal
(P/N 02537801-1P) may be used.
For 4'' (10 cm) vents in either combustible or
noncombustible walls, use vent terminal (P/N
90502100) or equivalent insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
Instead of an insulated vent terminal, a listed thimble
(with 2" air gap) may be used with a 4" vent cap (P/N
90502102).
6.5 Vertical Venting
Vertically vented heaters can be common vented
(up to 4 heaters).
For vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5 m),
condensation will form. Insulation is recommended
and condensation drains may be desired. Vent from
the rear of the heater cabinet then run the vent
vertically and use a condensate drain at the bottom
of the vertical vent.
Vent pipe must be sloped 1/4'' (.6 cm) for every
1' (.3 m).
For 4'' (10 cm), an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502102) must be used.
For 6'' (15 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502103) must be used.
For common vertical venting of more than two
heaters,
See Page 10, Figure 5.
A vent shall not extend less than 2' (.6m) above the
highest point where it passes through a flat roof of a
building.
6.6 Length Requirements
If using vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5 m),
condensation will form in the vent pipe. Insulation
and additional sealing measures (high temperature
silicone at all seams) are required.
The entire vent should be insulated with foil faced
fiberglass insulation (1/2" thick, 1-1/2# density
minimum).

SECTION 7: AIR SUPPLY
7.1 Separated Combustion Installation
When installed as a separated combustion heater,
the air for combustion is drawn in from outside the
building. It is important to ensure that there is
adequate space around heater to provide air for the
axial air distribution fan.
7.2 Unvented Installation
It is important to ensure that there is adequate fresh
air supply at all times for both combustion and
heating requirements in accordance with local and
national codes.
WARNING: Combustion by-products contain a
chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
7.3 Building Ventilation
Where ventilation is required, air must be taken from
an outside point where it is not likely to be
contaminated or obstructed.
7.4 Outside Combustion Air Supply
If outside combustion air supply is required,
separated combustion model (UHAS) heaters must
be used.
IMPORTANT: If the building has a slight negative
pressure or corrosive contaminants such as
halogenated hydrocarbons are present in the air, an
outside combustion air supply to the heater is
required. Seal all combustion air pipe joints.
The air supply duct may have to be insulated to
prevent condensation on the outer surface. The
outside air terminal must not be more than 1' (31
cm) above the vent terminal.
7.4.1 Length Requirements
Follow the constraints listed on Page 8, Section 6.6.

SECTION 8: GAS PIPING
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Connect gas supply according to Figure 9.
Gas can leak if not installed properly.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
injury or property damage.
Fire Hazard
Connect gas supply according to Figure 9.
Gas can leak if not installed properly.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
injury or porperty damage.
It is important that the gas supply pipe and the
electrical connections do not support any of the
heater’s weight.
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the
gas supply company. An existing meter should be
checked, preferably by the company, to ensure that
the meter is adequate for the rate of gas supply
required.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with
local and national codes. Pipes of smaller size than
the heater inlet gas connection should not be used.
8.1 Connections
Connect the heater to the gas supply ensuring that
the final connections are as follows:
Gas supply pipe work is run in medium or heavy
gauge tubing in compliance with local and
national codes.
Meter and service must be large enough to
handle all the burners being installed plus any
other connected load. The gas pipe which feeds
the system must be large enough to supply the
required gas with a maximum pressure drop of
1/2" w.c. When gas piping is not included in the
layout drawing, contact the local gas supplier.
An isolating valve and union connection should
be used and fitted into the supply adjacent to the
heater.
A minimum 1/8" NPT plugged tapping
accessible for test connection must be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the heater.
For suspended heaters, an approved metal
flexible connection between the isolating valve
and the heater may be used. To reduce
pressure loss, use one pipe size larger than
the heater gas connection.
IMPORTANT - The complete installation must be
purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance
with local and national codes.
• Do not high pressure (in excess of 1/2 psi
[14" w.c.]) test the gas piping with the burner
connected. Close manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing equal to or less
than 1/2 psi (14" w.c.). Failure to follow these
instructions can result in property damage.
Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks before
placing heating equipment into service. When
checking for gas leaks, use a soap and water
solution; never use an open flame.
